Everytime the battery is drained it takes something like 45mins- 1hour to come back on and even then the battery is like 30%. It is so annoying i know the phone has alot on it etc but i just wish they figured a way for iphones to come back on faster. I mean if your low on battery you have to run to the charger as fast as you can

Sounds faulty to me. I'd take it to an Apple Store.

edit: and take your charger and USB cable too for them to check.

Have you tested it with other leads and your leads on other similar devices ? Maybe one or the other is wonky.

Are you using a wall charger and a proper Apple one? if you are using USB or a non Apple charger that could be the cause.

That amount of time doesn't sound right at all, but surely if you know it takes so long to come back on then why not start charging it before it switches itself off around the 2% power remaining mark?

Its because it has to recieve authorisation from Steve Jobs personally, when it turns on and off, a message is sent to him asking him for permission to be switched off.

I have a bad apple, it doesn't switch off at all...
